South Carolina Lawmakers Kill DUI and THC Bills

South Carolina lawmakers just killed two major bills—one to crack down on DUIs and another to restrict THC drinks to 21+—in a chaotic special session, leaving both measures dead for the year. The DUI bill stalled in the Senate, while the THC bill collapsed in the House amid split votes between industry backers and those pushing for a total ban. Senate leaders blame the THC tie-up for the DUI failure, and retailers opposed the THC bill’s liquor-store-only sales. Meanwhile, the state budget’s tax cut fights are delaying the fiscal year’s start, forcing lawmakers to keep grinding through July. For now, no tougher DUI laws or age-based THC rules—just more budget drama ahead. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
